Meghan Markle is being giving lessons on proper royal etiquette ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry in May, it's been reported.

It's believed the former Suits star is being taught how to hold cups of tea, to dress the "proper way" and walk the "proper way" and also how she eats.

Grant Harrold, Prince Charles' former butler, has revealed what sorts of things that will be asked of the US actress in the coming weeks.

“She has to be careful what she says, how she says it, and how it’s taken because after the 19th of May, it will be a reflection of the royal family," he said.

“It’s everyday things – from the way she walks, the way she speaks, the things she does, how she eats, how she holds her cup, how she dresses – everything will be looked at. There will be a lot for her to adapt to," he told the Daily Star.

However, he added that Meghan hugging people won't be frowned upon despite usual protocol dictating that royals don't generally hug members of the public.

He continued: “None of the rest of the Royal Family hugged. Now the younger royals, Princes William and Harry, you see them hugging... So it’s their way of doing it. They are copying what their mother did, which is fantastic.”

It comes after it was reported that Meghan is struggling to deal with her heightened fame as a member of the royal family.

Although she has been in the film and TV industry for some time, she was still able to go out and about on her own without being mobbed by fans.

Now any excursion means being accompanied by armed security in a blacked-out car. Meghan was also forced to close down her Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.

In particular, she misses her popular blog The Tig, according to reports.

A source told the Daily Mail: "Meghan's finding getting used to the new life a little tough."

They went on: "She’s always been a free spirit and when she felt strongly about something, or just playful, she could tweet it or use her blog (The Tig).
